Macsboost vs N2itive

No because the 19-in tires have much more sidewall and they allow for more flex than the 21s do
What Sam1 said. Not as likely to be an issue if you are running 20's either. I have gone to the 20's and when I pulled off my 21's which had new tires put on just before I put in the Macsboost camber kit, they looked barely worn whereas the original tires where likely almost shot at that point based on the fact they only went 5k miles.
If I bought a MS LR or Plaid, and I was running 21's, the first thing I'd do is take care of the rear camber. Actually that would be the 2nd thing. First thing I'd go is go to Discount Tire and buy tire certificates for my tires.

I will receive my plaid in a couple of weeks and was looking at the different options for camber arms (didn't know there were others than N2itine or MMP)
The macsboost version is a lot cheaper, (250$) but not adjustable is that correct ? or there is the adjustable version at 500$
What can explain the price difference with the others brand ?
I will probably never adjust myself anything so if the cheapest version works why not, I just want to be sure I don't need to replace it or maintaint it often
Thank you

My advice is just buy the Macsboost kit and put the money toward something else. It isn't adjustable but does remove about 1 degree of negative camber from the rear. That is about all it takes to eliminate this issue. It is a set it and forget it mod.
I'd suggest an alignment after in case the factory toe is off which will also cause wear. My settings were pretty good from the factory but the alignment made it better and the tracking is better at high speeds too.
If I need to make camber changes all the time, I'd buy the arms but I don't. Keep in mind the rear camber is almost never identical from the factory for both sides. Mine is off by about 0.1 degrees which doesn't really matter. I'd also suggest doing the alignment in the low setting where you spend most of your time on the highway.

curious about complexity of the install as well. Is there at least a PDF of the install?
They include the instructions with the parts. Basically, loosen 2 bolts, slide the shims in. Some have had to use some leverage to get enough clearance to slide the parts in. Saves a grand vs. buying adjustable camber arms.
Yes, it's not a hard install, I can visualize it in my head how it's done. I like to work on my cars, I know this would be a easy job.
I'm just surprised that there's no youtube vids of this install by now. I just like to actually see it done.
It has install instructions in the box just need a 4ft pry bar to get the shims in
I want to address the rear toe and camber "issue" on my 2023 MSP. I don't want to lower my car unless there is an obvious reason to do it to make life easier on my half shafts. My car is less than 2K miles young.
On the N2itive site it reads as such:
"For the 2021+ model S and X Teslas the kit will come with our RSX series lowering links and our new SX-P2 rear adjustable camber arms. The 2021+ kits do not come with adjustable rear toe arms sine the OEM rear toe arms are already adjustable."
So if I opt out of the lowering links and just replace with the adjustable rear camber arms, am I good to go or is their description incorrect in that there's no factory rear toe adjustment on the 2021+ MSP?
Danke.
The toe is adjustable on refresh, thats the reason you wont get the
The lowering links can be set to the same height as the stock height, so I guess if you decide to need them the complete package is the best choice (money wise).
I’m wating out my tyres. Had them loose for check last weekend and they still look very good with no tendency to wear uneven.
The idea is, if possible to stay stock for half shaft issues, but if I need I’ll go with the complete kit. (Except the adjustable toe arms, of course).
I'm trying to nail down if it's worth getting the lowering links and lowering just enough to reduce the angles on the half shafts compared to riding in low mode bone stock. I do not like the idea of lowering for lowering's sake on an air suspension system to retain factory ride quality and longevity.
I'm clear now that I don't need the toe arms since factory offers toe adjustment, though I certainly wouldn't mind have a better toe bushing option given how much deflection the factory bushings experience on acceleration per @Sam1.

That's correct, the only reason I swapped mine was because the OEM had damaged threads. The OEM arms are pretty decent.
